Got fed up of the bad fit of my dew drop with drop bars. The geometry and leverages seemed all wrong, and would only get worse with a shorter stem to improve reach.
Stuck on some promenades as an experiment, and it actually feels SUPERB!
May turn out a little fugly, but its a good compromise as it also means I dont have to use cheapy STI's which I find awkward to shift and also I finally get to feel the true effectiveness of the disc brakes due to V brake levers.
